This pink salt drink combines warm water with a small amount of Japanese pink salt or Himalayan pink salt. Lemon, apple cider vinegar, honey, matcha, or ginger can be added for flavor. Pink salt itself is not a proven weight-loss ingredient.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 teaspoon Japanese pink salt or Himalayan pink salt
  • 8–10 ounces warm filtered water
  • Juice from 1/2 fresh lemon, optional
  • 1/4–1/2 teaspoon raw apple cider vinegar, optional
  • 1 teaspoon raw honey, optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon matcha powder, optional
  • 1–2 fresh ginger slices, optional

Instructions

  1. Warm 8–10 ounces of filtered water until hot but not boiling.
  2. Pour the water into a heat-safe mug or glass.
  3. Add 1/4 teaspoon of pink salt and stir until dissolved.
  4. Add any optional lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, honey, matcha, or ginger.
  5. Taste and add more water if the drink seems too salty.
  6. Drink it as a lightly salted or flavored beverage.

Notes

  • More salt is not better; adding more also increases sodium intake.
  • If using coarse salt, use a level measuring spoon because crystal size can affect volume.
  • Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container if fresh add-ins are used.
